Sheer (8)

I believe the answer is:

absolute

'sheer' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for absolute that I've seen before include "Peremptory" , "Not qualified; total" , "Complete or not limited" , "Such a ruler is free from all limits" , "Sheer - unqualified" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
